There is now a 7 point gap between ECAC 4 and 5. Seems like we have a pretty good idea of the top 4 in the conference.

Can't remember whether it was here or USCHO, but during the pre-season I chastised a Cornell fan for picking us 5th, saying it would be incredibly disappointing to finish behind anyone not named Q, H, or Ckn. Turning out to be correct - nice to hit one of these occasionally.Trotsky

Quin has allowed 2 goals and shut out 6 of the 7 teams in the ECAC. Riding a 4 goal shutout streak.. Wonder what the ECAC record is for that? Dart/Prin/Colg on deck before our game
They have a goal Diff of +21 we have one of +18

Kudos to the Dartmouth goalie last night, who made 47 saves. Q outshot Dartmouth 50-19, and didn't wrap up the 3-1 victory until it scored an empty-net goal.

Interesting vote coming up at NCAA Convention over whether to allow Division III schools RIT and Union, which play Division I hockey, to give athletic scholarships for hockey[/url]. Union says it's having trouble keeping pace, and needs to be able to do so.
From the article on CHN.com:
With better coaching, better institutional support, and more open need-based aid for hockey players, Union's program was able to thrive in the 2010s, as evidenced by its two Frozen Four appearances and 2014 national championship.
But times are always changing, and college sports is catering more and more to the big schools, with things like the ability for schools to offer full cost of attendance scholarship packages, and so-called NIL (name, image and likeness) rights for players.
Union believed the ability to keep up was going to slip away without the boost that athletic scholarships will bring.

union needs to give scholarships because they can't expect players to come to albany without a scholarship when they have to give up good union jobs out by the tar sands and alimony and child support payments to keep up.

The NCAA remains apoplectic that small schools like Union / Clarkson should be in D1, ditto Hopkins in lacrosse. I believe there are NCAA rules that make it difficult for small schools (that aren't D1 now) to field just one or two D1 sports and play at the lower level in other sports. Instead, they now have to commit to at least a half-dozen D1 programs for men and for women both, and field D1 teams in each season, fall-winter-spring. Clarkson has 20 sports; only men's and women's hockey are D1 and the rest are D3.
In comparison: Ohio State's current athletics budget is $335 million, maybe more if they chip in to pay Michigan's most current athletes/sex abuse lawsuit.

I know they played Q and UMass, but I can't believe that whatever an AIC is has a tough enough schedule to be even with us at 13-9-1.
they have a higher SOS..
they have no wins against any of the better teams but a couple ties.
Prov/Quin/Mass/BC losses Prov/Quin(2) OT games
we have UND win QUin/Clark OT Harv L then ASU/BU games
so they have had a pretty good schedule and no wins against any if them. we have the 2-3 wins depending on how you count a middling BU win
still 5 less losses should mean something.

It's a lot easier to understand when you stop thinking of Cornell as being 13-4-1 -- because for Pairwise purposes, they are not.
Cornell is 9-4-1 with 4 OT wins
American International is 13-5-1 with 4 OT losses.
This in effect makes the teams:
Cornell 9-4-5
AIC 13-5-5
That hopefully makes it more obvious what's going on.

Is 3x3 just for Covid or is this going to be The New Stupid even afterwards, like the NL DH?
Seems like a lot of leagues (not necessarily NC$$) are using the emergency to push through a lot of garbage. Man on second in extras is the only one so far that would actually make me burn down a stadium, but I expect even worse.

3x3 hockey is dumb and a travesty, but it IS fun. 3x3 for entertainment's sake plus treating a game tied at regulation as more or less a tie for RPI purposes isn't that bad, if we're committed to keeping crowds thrilled or something.
Man on second suuuucks. Like, start that in the 13th if you have to.

This was implemented regardless of COVID. Across the board NCAA hockey rule. Every 2 years is a "rule change year." - So theoretically they can vote to change that again this summer. I doubt it however.

I rather enjoy 3-3 if both teams are truly trying to score. Saturday, against Q, CU seemed to be playing for a tie, for most of the OT. That was not enjoyable.

When 3 x 3 OT started in the NHL, it was wild fire wagon hockey. But it’s evolved into “possess the puck at all costs” and that’s what transpired last night at Lynah. Not nearly so entertaining, even though it worked out for us.

When the NHL instituted the shootout, Sports Illustrated wrote on how players didn't like shootouts. But when they were sort-of watching another game on TV and it went to shootout, all eyes were glued to the shootout. It's just a game, rules change as you go along. Kids do it, why not grown-ups? Maybe MLB goes to invisible man in right field and any ball hit there is a do-over. Last year, it could only have helped terrible teams like the Pirates and Diamondbacks.Dafatone

I'd prefer a return to the status quo ante, of course, maybe with a five-minute 4-on-4 overtime if there is such a need for more space. But, if we absolutely must not have ties and with the excellent and exciting CFB overtime rules in mind, why not dueling power plays?
***
Coin flip or whatever to determine possession.
Winning team gets a one-man power play advantage. (Some sort of rules to set up a defensive zone breakout to start the power play. Defense needs to be above the faceoff dots or something.)
Goal? 1-0. Shorty or successful kill? 0-1.
Switch possession.
Repeat.
First team to a "two-goal" lead wins.
***
I'd have few problems with counting all the stats. You could even go 4-on-3 or 5-on-3 after a couple of innings if there needs to be even more space. At least we're talking about plausible game situations. 3-on-3 is so very rare as to be nearly artificial.

Eventually we can come up with so many ideas that we ruin the game for those who love it.
For those of us who love their smart phone, but were also happy back in the analog day, I think we can cater too much to the "have it now, digital crowd".
Sort of why I like the numbers 2-29. And Malone is my favorite player.

Really, I see no need to break what wasn't broken. I also become increasingly frustrated with change, or the appearance of change, for the sake of change.
And 13 is a lucky number in my family.

Shorty should automatically win the game, if for no other reason than to disincentivize the team on PP from pulling the goalie to get a 6x4.Scersk '97
Trotsky
Is 3x3 just for Covid or is this going to be The New Stupid even afterwards, like the NL DH?
Seems like a lot of leagues (not necessarily NC$$) are using the emergency to push through a lot of garbage. Man on second in extras is the only one so far that would actually make me burn down a stadium, but I expect even worse.

Coin flip or whatever to determine possession.
Winning team gets a one-man power play advantage. (Some sort of rules to set up a defensive zone breakout to start the power play. Defense needs to be above the faceoff dots or something.)
Goal? 1-0. Shorty or successful kill? 0-1.
Switch possession.
Repeat.
First team to a "two-goal" lead wins.

Was he in the same boat as Galadja, where he left because the Ivy League took forever to declare that he'd get an extra year?
I want to say no, since I think Regush was a year behind Galadja, but I'm too lazy to look him up.

You are correct, Regush was a year behind Galadja. He’s now a senior at Miami. His goal production is down significantly from his two years at Cornell. Probably lacks the supporting cast he had here. I guess he can skate another year as a grad student at Miami.

Don’t worry, given enough time and leeway, somebody will always think of something dumber. <screams in silence>
The Pioneer League is testing out sudden death baseball. After 10 innings, the home team will choose whether they want to hit or field. The hitting team will start with a runner on 1st. If the run scores, the hitting team wins. If the run does not score, the fielding team wins.

For those of us who love their smart phone, but were also happy back in the analog day, I think we can cater too much to the "have it now, digital crowd".
It's not that. It's just the idiocy and greed that have always been there but which are now unmoored from any consequences at all after 41 years of this fucking nightmare Neofeudalism.
The kids are kids. They're the same as all kids in all ages. Like we were, they are neither interestingly better nor worse, just fungibles spit off the conveyor belt waiting to consume. This isn't their fault. It's we who laid down on the job of keeping the sociopaths at bay, and now we have billionaires in space and ads on the boards.

He had two years of eligibility left prior to last season. My guess is that, upon the announcement that the Ivy League had canceled last year’s season, he decided to take extra classes to graduate early, and transferred to Miami. Why he chose Miami, I don’t know. I bet he regrets the decision now. While I can’t say I’m rooting for him (or any of the players who transferred), most of the fault lies with the Ivy League for (1) canceling the season and (2) waiting too long to announce the players would receive an extra year of eligibility.nshapiro

Yeah, I think it's overly harsh to blame the players who decided to transfer given the uncertainly surrounding Ivy League hockey at the time the players had to make the decision.

That's the key: you need a place where you will get a big role and have teammates who are good enough to help you shine. Those two requirements close in on each other. If you go to Yale you'll play 40 minutes a night but your teammates suck. If you go to Michigan you could win the NC$$ title on the bench.
I also seem to remember that Miami, perhaps alone among their conference, does not suck academically. Which... I mean he might care?

We can beat Quinnipiac but it's not easy and the same goes with Harvard. Be nice if the RS ended that way in the standings and we avoid Q and H until, if all top seeds advance, the Lake Placid finals. Or we could Just Win, Bâby.

Except, of course, the ECAC listing is on % basis. On the points basis CU & Harvard are reversed. Harvard is #3 with 28 points and CU is #4 with 25 points.
We have 2 games in hand on Harvard. So we can move up to #3, but we need to win at least 1 of those games. As of now, we play Q.

Adam seems to be the guy who really dug into this story. Good journalism but maybe have somebody else start your car for the next few months.dbilmes
Some nasty stuff going on with Michigan program, which was heavily criticized for pulling out of the second game of the Great Lakes Tournament earlier this year. Now they are being accused of having players lie about COVID exposure, among other things.
Adam does a good job, but this is virtually all from the Ann Arbor news. The A2 News article states "according to documents obtained by MLive/The Ann Arbor News." and Adam acknowledges that "Documents obtained by The Ann Arbor News".
Local newspapers have enough problems and we should give them the kudos.

This year's point system turned a 2/4 .500 weekend into 2/6 .333 weekend. Yikes.

The Yale coach couldn't have been too happy with his son for leaving his team shorthanded for Saturday's consolation game of the Connecticut Ice Classic.
"The Bulldogs played with only 17 skaters; NCAA teams are allowed 19. Leading scorer Niklas Allain had to sit out Sunday after receiving a disqualification penalty to go with a cross-checking major in the last minute of Saturday’s game against UConn. Yale is also dealing with several injuries."
Yale lost 4-3 in OT to Sacred Heart, with a transfer student from Yale, Dante Pelecco, scoring tying the tying goal for Sacred Heart late in the third period.

And with it goes another chance for an ECAC OOC win and some Pairwise help for the conference. Probably not many chances left.

There is Harvard in the Beanpot, but that rarely goes well for them.

If we're looking for pairwise optimism, 6 of our 9 remaining games are on the road.
Also, root for ASU and ND. Ew.

Let's face it. At this point, unless we win the ECAC tournament, or at least make it to the title game, we don't have a shot of getting an NCAA bid.Dafatone

I'm too lazy to do any actual number crunching, but I bet if we ran the table from here to the conference semis we'd have a reasonable chance.
Certainly it's gonna be an uphill battle, RPIwise.
